I agree. If the server already chose to under-report tips such that they received an amount in box 8 then it is highly unlikely that they would choose to report more.
It's possible that there are reasons other than lack of reporting that result in a number in box 8 but in general I have no sympathy for anyone who intentionally under-reports in order to avoid paying taxes.
